In the previous chapter, the mathematics was miscalculated again, and it has been changed to "Yuanfeng five years in September Bingzi Day Yihai, Xi'an Hou Renhong, from the Guannei Hou Wang Fengguang to buy the name of Bailuyuan Xitian five hectares, 500,000 straight money, another house one mu, straight money 100,000, the money is finished on the same day." ”"The southeast, northwest, and northwest of the field are bounded by large stones, and the roots are native and hairy, all of which belong to Ren Hong.At that time, the others in Gaoying Township, Baling County, Ding Long, Tian Dingyang, and Guo Ping, the pavilion chief, all knew about the coupons, and half of the wine was sold!
How is it true, the lead coupon ruler six is true!
”The contents of the land sale were carved by the village knife and pen officials on a rectangular lead plate with a stroke of hardwood, and the sides were one foot and six inches long.This is the contract "lead coupon" required by the Han Dynasty to buy and sell large fields and properties, and after carving, those small characters must be traced out with a red pen, and after drying, both hands are given to Ren Hong.On the other hand, the Marquis of Guannei, Wang Fengguang, got a full sixty horseshoe-shaped gold cakes, he confessed to Ren Hong, and asked Jiacheng to take out a small scale and weigh it on the spot.After the weighing was correct, the two high-fived and completed the contract and drank with the three local villagers who were hired to be notaries.Wang Fengguang is not fat, but his head is a little big, and his brain is full of fat, as for what he was holding before, he is a fighting, obviously a master who likes to fight cocks and horses.After completing the contract, Wang Fengguang was still a little reluctant to this land, and sighed when he took Ren Hong to confirm the boundary between the east and west of the field: "In the future, this land and small house will be owned by the Marquis of Xi'an, this land was bought by my grandfather, and it has made a lot of profits for my family in the past few decades, but it was sold in my hands, I am really ashamed." ”Although he is selling Yetian, he is still distressed.Ren Hong took a fancy to the fact that this field had been passed down under the name of the family for several generations, rather than being merged recently, which saved a lot of trouble, and asked curiously: "Why is Brother Wang in a hurry to sell the field?"
”"It's not about scraping together money to buy that damn white deerskin."
Wang Fengguang was very helpless: "In more than two months, it will be Zhengdan, the sixth year of Yuanfeng, this is the twelfth year of the succession of county officials, according to the rule of three years, it is the turn of the princes, the princes, and the marquis of Guannei to recommend the pilgrimage." ”Ren Hong listened to Da Honglu talk about the obligations of being a liege for an afternoon, and he knew that the pilgrimage once every three years was a good day for the court to kill pigs.In addition to letting Sang Hong Yang run a salt and iron franchise, reckoning, and suing the Xiongnu, the princes who had been raised for more than 100 years were of course inevitably stabbed, who let more than 100 princes at that time have nothing to do with themselves, and did not ask to join the army to attack Hu Yue, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was worried about money, came to a ruthless move.Under the guise of restoring the ancient ritual system, he used the white deer skin square ruler, which is a specialty of the forest garden, to make a white deer skin coin.Aren't the princes, the princes, and the marquis of Kannai making a great pilgrimage every three years?
All of them had to hold the jade bi into the temple, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up a new rule: "The jade bi should be wrapped in white deer skin coins, and then it can be done." ”This leather coin is not allowed to be self-made, and can only be bought with the imperial court, so how much is a small white deer skin coin one foot square?"
Four hundred thousand!"
Wang Fengguang stretched out four fingers, only felt the pain in his flesh, and couldn't help complaining: "A small leather coin actually costs 400,000 yuan, why don't you grab it!"
”That's right, this is robbing, or is it open.You must know that the annual tax income of Qianhuhou is only 200,000.So much so that some of the princes actually went to Shanglin Yuan to steal the white deer and make leather coins by themselves.There is an Anqiu Marquis Zhang Shi, who sat in Shanglin to steal deer in the fourth year of Yuan Ding, and the country was removed and completed as a city.So although they knew that it was the court that killed the pigs, the pigs could only be slaughtered.Huo Guang continued this system and did not change, he was reluctant, the number of princes, liehous, and Guannei marquis added up to more than 200, a family of 400,000, and it will be 100 million in three years!"
Not only do you have to buy white deer skins, but you also have to prepare the gold and give it to Shaofu."
Wang Fengguang calculated the account for Ren Hong: "When Emperor Gao was the emperor, the gold of those who were not satisfied with a thousand households was only four taels, and now it has risen to four catties, compared to the leather coin, 40,000 yuan a year is a small amount, but it must be in excellent condition, otherwise it may be because the gold is less than two catties, and the country will be exempted!"
”Therefore, the ranking of the number of Hou households in the Han Dynasty is a pig killing list, according to the calculation, the Hou of 10,000 households has to come up with 400,000 yuan every year."
Fortunately, I haven't reached a thousand households yet."
Ren Hong got 3 million money when he was the marquis, and even if he bought the land, there were still more than 2 million left, so he didn't have to worry about buying leather coins to make up for gold.But for the ordinary princes, raising a large group of slaves, feasting and gatherings, personal entertainment, relatives exchanges, funerals and marriages, the annual expenditure is still very large.If you don't know how to run the industry, the meat that has been cut off by the imperial court in the past three years may be more than the tax, so the princes who have been mixed up miserably have begun to sell their houses and land, just to maintain the last title.If even the marquis is lost, then he will really become a commoner.Wang Fengguang said to Ren Hong, and also showed remorse: "Blame me, the money was originally sufficient, but some time ago, I gambled with people in Baling and fought cocks, lost hundreds of thousands, and only repaid half of it, and I couldn't make up the money for a while." ”This guy is really miserable, so the 600,000 yuan he got from selling the land will be left after the New Year, Ren Hong couldn't help laughing: "There are still people who dare to chase Guan Neihou to ask for debts?"
”"Why don't you dare, Nabaling Du Sui zhì Ji is known as the hero of Guanzhong, and the local officials are all subordinate, and the door is wider than mine."
Wang Fengguang's family has been passed down for five generations, and has also been marginalized for five generations, and has not been an official since his grandfather.Seeing the rise of the newly promoted military nobles, or the development of virtuous and virtuous learning in the Kanto region, even those heroes who moved into the Guanzhong dared to bully their heads, and they felt more and more eliminated, but they didn't know how to turn over.He only felt that he had bumped into great luck today, met the hot Xi'an Marquis, and was named Marquis in his early twenties with military merits, is this Wei and Huo Zaishi?
His day shall not be measured.Therefore, Wang Fengguang sold the land at the lowest price in Bailuyuan, and wanted to chat with Ren Hong more, if he could get a real power prince, his family might not have to decline.Although Ren Hong's eyes stayed on the field, Wang Fengguang still tried to maintain the topic: "Xi'an Hou, I understand now that it is not enough to rely on land rent and tax, but we still have to learn from the Fuping Hou family to govern the industry." ”"What kind of industry does the Hou family of Fuping govern?"
Ren Hong was careless.Wang Fengguang's words were full of envy: "The Marquis of Fuping is respected as a prince, but his family is very thrifty, wearing coarse cloth clothes, and raising 700 domestic servants in Duling, all of whom have handicrafts, open a weaving room, and make things such as Heji, plus his wife is good at goods and breeding, it is said that his family is richer than the general!"
”Ren Hong was stunned, Heyun is the ancient paper of the Western Han Dynasty, and it is also a coincidence, Zhang An's family is actually making it.In fact, Ren Hong bought this land, in addition to wanting to use it as a cultivation base for exotic crops such as grass and cotton, he also planned to build a workshop to govern the industry, not for personal prosperity, but for greater ideals.People like Wang Fengguang are not pitiful at all, these complaints are just for them to be immersed in horse and cockfighting, so they miss the moaning of the tide of the great era.Although Ren Hong doesn't like the Confucian scholars in Kanto, those Confucian scholars who were originally born poor, but gritted their teeth and changed their fate by turning their heads into poverty, are also better than the nobles who lie on their ancestors' fiefdoms and eat and wait for death.The declining princes rarely have a revival, after all, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, the Han Dynasty This kind of leather coin gold killing pig system, Ren Hong raised his hands in favor.At this time, he saw in the distance on the White Deer Plain, a few ugly women with children, bending down in the field where the grain had been beaten a long time ago, searching for something."
Xia Weng, are they gleaning?"
Xia Dingmao, who followed behind, said: "The ears have been picked up a long time ago, and now there is not a grain of grain in the field, so I should be picking up wild vegetables." ”Ren Hong's head, although the autumn harvest has passed and the wheat has been planted, if you want to fill the stomach of the family, the farmers can't be idle for a moment.According to the customs of the Han Dynasty, in September, it is necessary to harvest citrus fruits, govern the field garden, repair the dou kiln, and make sunflower and dried sunflower at the same time, so that there is something to eat in the cold winter.These peasant women, at the moment, are bending down in the fields, ridges to search for wild sunflower curly ears, even in Guanzhong, which is rich in the world, the Luzuo serfs who have lost their land for various reasons are also very miserable, and they have half of the grain and half of the wild vegetables to satisfy their stomachs.And in a year of disaster, they will become displaced people from the land.The issue of people and land in the Kanto region is more important than that in the Kansai region.Ren Hong glanced at Wang Fengguang and said secretly: "I also have to start quickly, use exotic spice crops to kill this group of pigs, and complete the primitive accumulation, so that I can make my career bigger." ”So when Wang Fengguang invited Ren Hong to a banquet in the courtyard of Baling County, Ren Hong was not interested, he had to rush to work in the pawn country early tomorrow, how could he have time to drink with this down-and-out Guannei Hou.Wang Fengguang was not discouraged, found all kinds of reasons, when Ren Hong repeatedly excused himself and had no way, he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and stomped his feet and said: "Don't hide it from Xi'anhou, recently there is a friend who has a fighting who lives in my house, he went up and down Wuling to visit Longmen, and returned to Jingzhao to visit me."
The reputation of the Marquis of Xi'an spread all over the tombs of Guanzhong, and he also heard about it, and often told me that if he wants to meet with the Marquis, his identity is extraordinary, and he hopes that the Marquis of Xi'an will appreciate the light!
”Ren Hong asked casually, "Oh?
What do you call your extraordinary friend?
”"His name is Liu Aiji, and he is the great-grandson of the emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
